Kicking Ass, Teamwork-Style, etc. (Wednesday, Period 3/Week 3)
The Danger Shop was set up to look like a park today... if the park had been designed by someone with a really strange sense of fun. For one, halfway between the playground-- which was where the students would find themselves upon arriving-- and the picnic area stood a small but twisty maze of shrubbery. Just past the maze was a very large (but shallow) patch of muddy ground, and on the far side of the picnic area stood a tall, smooth-barked tree. Anyone listening closely, or who happened to have enhanced hearing, might be able to pick up on faint but plaintive mewing from up in the branches.
"So what are you gonna do when you have a thing come up unexpectedly, and you have to solve it with a quickness?" Kennedy began conversationally. "No time for research or making plans, and maybe you're in over your head because this is something you've never had to deal with before? In a group, that is. By yourself is different. I mean, the thinking on your feet is the same, but there's a whole thing about communicating and being on the same page as other people that makes things tricky."
She turned around and waved a hand at the setup in front of them. "So here's your sitch. You have a big important party to get to in an hour. Real fancy, black tie, missing it is not an option, oh, and you're already dressed up and on your way there. Except there's one problem. That cat stuck in the tree? Supposed to be a present for the guest of honor. You're gonna need to get it out of there... and you need to go through all of this to do it. Could get messy if you're not careful. Good luck with that."
Inspired by something she'd had to do last week? Maybe, yeah.
She paused as if remembering something, then added, "And watch out for the random clay guys lurking in the maze. They're not very friendly."
